Celebrities Cyber Bullied

Ciara

One cyber bully learned firsthand that if you mess with Ciara, be prepared to face her wrath because she is not one to be messed with. The “Ride” singer got sick and tired of being picked on by one particular female on twitter and she clapped back with some taunting of her own, making fun of her bully’s looks and shaming her for only having one follower. Ciara then wrote an open letter to cyber bullies and chided them for standing behind anonymity to make fun of others and saying the cruelest things imaginable.

FKA Twigs

We’ve learned from his previous relationship with Kristen Stewart that Robert Pattinson prefers to keep his personal affairs private but last month the “Twilight” star and his girlfriend were making headlines for an unfortunate reason. After being spotted out with Pattinson several times, FKA Twigs’s twitter account became filled with racist comments from people who didn’t approve of the interracial couple being together. The 26-year-old London musician tweeted out her dismay over the nasty comments.

Adele

Having a baby can be a joyous time in anyone’s life and that was the case for Adele. The “Rumor Has It” singer received lots of well wishes after becoming a new mother but not everyone had positive comments to make. In fact, there were several people on twitter that immediately started poking fun of the English singer, making jokes about her weight and impending post partum depression. One person even went so far and made death threats to her newborn baby.

Kayo Redd

Kayo Redd always looked up to his brother Waka Flocka Flame and even wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a rapper himself. Although he never achieved the level of success Waka Flocka had, Kayo Redd still knew what it felt like to be teased. He was bullied online so bad, it was one of the reasons his mom said he committed suicide last year. His mother, “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star Debra Antney, started the No R.I.P. (Reckless Internet Posting) campaign following her son’s death to raise awareness about cyber bullying.

Stacey Dash

Thanks to her role in the cult classic films “Clueless” and “Mo Money,” Stacy Dash has always been a popular actress but she managed to lose quite a few fans when she made her pick for the 2012 presidential election known. After throwing her hat in the ring for Mitt Romney, the former “Single Ladies” actress was dragged through the mud on Facebook and Twitter. However, Romney did appreciate her support and showed it by reaching out to personally thank Dash himself. Her public Republican support has lead to a spot as contributor on Fox News channel.

Tamera Mowry

Stacey Dash wasn’t the only Black actress lambasted on social media for her political views. Tamera Mowry found herself defending the comments she made during the 2012 Vice Presidential debates and became a target of nasty comments when some people felt she was aligning with the Republicans. Her husband, Fox news correspondent Adam Housley, spoke up online to defend his wife.

Lorde

In the past year or so, Lorde reached new heights in her career. Sudden fame has its benefits but, like many other celebrities, the New Zealand singer has been the target of negative comments. Last year, Lorde and her boyfriend James Lowe both received racist tweets regarding their relationship. Although she opted not to go back and forth with the people making the offensive comments on twitter, the “Royal” singer admitted to “Rolling Stone” magazine that she was affected by what she read.

Zendaya Coleman

Seventeen-year-old Zendaya Coleman snagged the biggest role of her career when she was cast to portray Aaliyah in the upcoming Lifetime biopic. But her joy turned to shock when a lot of people went online to express their dismay over the casting choice. Some were upset that Coleman wouldn’t have the acting chops to pull the role off convincingly. Others felt aesthetically she wasn’t the right choice because she was biracial. At first Coleman held her head high amid the backlash but soon she backed out of the role and blamed not having Aaliyah’s family blessing as the cause.

LeAnn Rimes

Some people can let negative criticism and taunts roll off of their backs like water while others let the comments get to them. LeAnn Rimes was so upset about the taunting she received on twitter that she ended up seeking medical treatment. The country singer went to rehab to deal with the stress and anxiety that was caused by cyber bullying. She was on the receiving end of nasty taunts stemming from her extramarital affair with now husband Eddie Cibrian.

Cheryl Cole

Cheryl Cole got her first taste of fame after winning a coveted spot in the all-girl group Girls Aloud back in 2002. But even after all of this time in the spotlight, the English singer hasn’t built up a thick enough skin to deflect the negative comments and criticism that are posted on social media about her. “In the last few years, I’ve been bulled on Facebook and Twitter,” she said in a recent interview. “It’s evil and very public. People judge my appearance and hair and say that I look fat.”

Anna Gunn

There are some people who can become so into a movie or television show, they can’t separate the actor from the character he or she portrays. That’s what happened with Anna Gunn who starred in the massively popular dark series “Breaking Bad.” Some fans of the show weren’t too thrilled with her character Skylar White after she turned on her meth-cooking, drug dealing husband Walter White. Gunn became a target online but it was one particular post she read that prompted her to take extra precautions for her own safety. “Can someone please tell me where Anna Gunn lives so I can kill her?” it read.

Paris Jackson

Losing a parent at an early age is especially hard but imagine if you had to grieve with the world watching. Paris Jackson didn’t have a clue how famous her father Michael Jackson was until he unexpectedly died in 2009. Paris has been having a tough time coming to terms with his passing and it was made worse by her classmates who bullied her on twitter. Even though she had told Oprah Winfrey in an interview that she didn’t let their comments get to her, last year Paris was rushed to the hospital after a suicide attempt.
